Hi all,

The Planetary Society has put the space policies of both candidates on their website. Makes for some interesting reading.

From a quick skim, it looks like BO has more detail and less of sweeping, general statements, but both claim that space exploration is important to them. I just wonder if either of them will actually be prepared to fund NASA fully.

The entire 12,000 word article about McCain's POW experience is here:

http://www.usnews.com/articles/news/2008/01/28/john-mccain-prisoner-of-war-a-first-person-account.html

It is a long read, and left me with really mixed emotions. I can't imagine enduring what he went through, nor can I imagine coming out of it without emotional and psychological damage. No matter what your political inclinations, it is worth reading, IMO.

Regards,

Steve

Latest poll does not bode well for Obama:

I suspect McCain will pick Mitt Romney and continue to pull the republican party together. I think the democrats have now lost the election.

You want to know what McCain thinks, "read his books"!
Geez, you want a guy like this to be your president?...

Different eyes see different things. I'm not impressed. But she does read a teleprompter well and I'm sure has the best speech writers money can buy. Maybe she used her oil rebate check(s).

Jim, after following your link and pondering your point, I think I figured out the real reason McCain chose Palin. She's from an out of the way state, she's had only a fraction of the TV time the other guys have had... therefore, it will be a lot harder for your left wing counterparts to post a Palin Gaffe link. McCain on the other hand... how many houses was it again?

"...So why then, when Palin was asked recently on a interview about being the Commander of the Alaskan National Guard, she was unsure?..."


Unsure?...Are you sure?...Unsure of what?...sorry but I don`t believe you...but, as everyone should know, her 1st interview as the R VP nom., that means anything, is coming up later this week.

Funny you mention trolls...since you`re one of those posters here who no one can really be certain when you`re being serious or just applying that dry sense of humor of yours!...until this changes, as far as I`m concerned, you`ll continue to have credibility problems at times!

I do like your sense of humor, tho.

"...Also, I'm quite sure that if the 49th has a bogey on the scopes, they will call NORAD long before checking with Palin by channeling the call through Karl Rove and the lobbyists running the crooked campaign..."


Maybe...maybe not...the Alaskan Nat. Guard is mostly an Independent unit...and as such, acts mostly on it`s own under the orders of the Alaskan Gov.


"...Ok, start on your next mudball..."


These are not mudballs...they are, however, the cleaning up of mudballs and smears from the left.

"...I can hit that squarely for a kinetic kill too..."


Whatever!...LOL...

I really thought this was just one of those silly internet rumors, but I started looking into it today and there definitely is some compelling reasons to suggest that Sarah Palin's baby is really her daughter's baby, and the birth was covered up.

1.) Sarah's "announcement" that she was pregnant at supposed 7 months of term was a suprise to her staff.
2.) In all photos of Sarah during her "pregnancy", she appears fit and trim. In photos from same period, her daughter clearly has a tummy bulge.
3.) The last five months of Sarah's "pregnancy", her daughter was absent from school for a "severe case of mono" - the oldest excuse in the world for a pregnant teen.
4.) All photos on the Alaska State Department's official website that show Sarah Palin and her family have been taken down.
5.) Sarah Palin's water broke while she was attending a conference in Texas. She then proceeded to give a 30-minute speech before taking an 11-12 hour flight home to Alaska to give birth.

What say ye all? A cover-up in an election year, or simply a rumor?
